Trig, I love innovation! I do some work with the swiss ball but have never put it between the client and couch, great idea. I am glad you have put focus and consistency on this project. It's a great example for us all. Are you also doing full back stretches? Since the hamstring is connected to the bottom of the hip but all of the back muscles address the top of the hip you will certainly find your results happen faster if you are looking at all of the 'hip' muscles. Also look at inner and outer thigh work. I will remind you, whether you need it or not, that the leg muscles all work in tandem to make peace with your hip alignment. As tight as your hamstrings may feel, they may be doing the best job they can based on 'the other' tension information they are balancing. For what it's worth.

And you are certainly welcome for playing in this area of expanded fitness. It is fun to get such positive feedback from peoples successes and innovations. Vickie
